46. What's the definition of stupid people?

Fri Jan 3, 2025, 10:18 AM

Jan 2025

Choosing to not visit a website with content you know you won’t like is easy. So is avoiding news that you know will anger or depress you.

What about other people that you know you must interact with in life? How do you determine their intelligence? Do you quiz your doctor’s receptionist? Or the cashier at your local grocery store? The person processing your property tax payments?

Permanent isolation that’s being chosen to avoid “stupid people” can’t be healthy.

I hope you find the comfort you seek.
